Traffic Engineering

Roadways that operate efficiently and safely for all road users are
essential for sustainability, growth, and improving the quality of
life in San Diego County. The Traffic Engineering Section strives to
achieve and maintain a safe and efficient County Maintained Road
system for motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, and equestrians.
Examples of possible traffic safety improvements include traffic
signals, traffic signs, striping, and guard rail. Resident concerns
about traffic impacts on their neighborhood may also be addressed by
Traffic Engineering through traffic calming techniques like speed
humps, chicanes, and roundabouts. Traffic Engineering conducts and
evaluates traffic studies to determine what measures are necessary.
